Nov 22 My Foolproof Way to Roast Broccoli

Nutrition, Recipes, Tips and Tricks, Vegetarian, Yum

I eat a lot of broccoli, I actually really like broccoli. Not only is it super tasty but it is thought to have anti-cancer properties and is rich in vitamins A, C and folic acid. Broccoli has some B vitamins and most of the minerals, especially potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron.

So broccoli is a really good addition to almost any dish, its great in soup, as a salad, roasted and paired with a whole grain like quinoa or brown rice or in a stir fry.

My favourite way to eat broccoli is roasted, and here is my fool proof way to prepare it.

Fool Proof Delicious Broccoli:

Clean, trim and chop your broccoli
Drizzle a small amount of good quality unfiltered, cold pressed, organic (if possible) olive oil over broccoli and season with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper and any other seasoning you want, toss all together.
Spread over a baking sheet ensuring your pan isn’t over crowded
Place in a COLD oven set at 425F
When your oven reaches temperature check and leave the pan in for about 5 more minutes depending on how well done your preference is.
Enjoy with a whole grain, pasta, salad or whatever you have.

I hope you try this recipe, feel free to let me know what you think and how you used your roasted broccoli! If you have questions about your diet feel free to contact me, I am happy to help!

Happy eating!

Hey there!

Eating, body awareness, my overall health and self esteem have always been a struggle for me, so I understand and have intimate knowledge about what you may be going through.

I started out as a wheezy asthmatic kid in and out of hospitals and often attached to oxygen. I was told “No” a lot for fear of triggering an asthma attack, so there was minimal exercise and limited exposure to potential allergens.

I never really thought about being “fat” or how my body looked until I had to take steroids and gained a lot of weight which I definitely did not grow out, as hoped by the doctors and my parents.

This started my journey towards self hatred and my poor relationship with food. After years of struggling I decided that I needed to educate myself on how our bodies work, how food affects our health and how to properly exercise.

I have been a Personal Trainer for over 15 years and a Holistic Nutritionist for over 5 years.

I know what it feels like to be lethargic, sick and have no idea why. It doesn’t have to be this way, I can help you learn how your diet is directly affecting your energy levels, your over all health and your moods.

You must be tired of feeling crappy all the time, I know there is a better way. Let’s figure this out together.
